hi everyone

been rattlin a bit from a 3 week codeine binge. starting to feel really shit as the withdrawal is kickin in. how many 10mg valium would help me feel a bit better? ive got 5 x 10mg.; taken 3, gettin a bit worried if thats too much as im not used to valium, no tolerance. will be smokin some shit hot hash any minute also.
anyone think this will help me feel better? any dangers in this plan?

cheerrs peeps
 
Benzos and Weed/hash are mandatory for opiate withdrawal in my experience. Valium is especially helpful, because it has a decently long half life, and quite good muscle relaxant properties. With no tolerance, 20-30mg should give you some relief, without getting you too fucked up. The amnesia with Valium isn't as pronounced as with, say, Xanax.. Mix in a bit of weed as well, and you should be feeling ok.

You're habit was very small though, and I am sure you aren't feeling fantastic, the w/d should be rather minor, and completely manageable. Especially with the aid of valium and hash. Save the rest of your valium for tomorrow, and see how you are feeling. Since you were only taking codeine for 3 weeks, you really should only experience some minor aches/pains, anxiety/depression, insomnia, and cravings. The mental effects will be much worse than the physical effects of a hardcore opiate withdrawal.

Regardless, good luck. I have gone through the hell of heroin w/d and methadone w/d many many times.
 
i would be inclined 2 agree with Brokedown palace three week its more likely to be phychological uncomftableness mainly maybe a little physical not much. 30 mg of diazepam fine then tommorow 1 ten and 2 fives split if needed be good.
